A Boca Raton Dyslexia Tutor or 3D Learner

Mary had invested in a Boca Raton Dyslexia Tutor with out the desired results. Then she tried another Boca Raton Dyslexia Tutor. The results were better, but reading comprehension continued to be an issue, as did homework time and stress and standardized tests. What is even worse was that her child’s self-esteem was lower than ever.

Then she googled Boca Raton Dyslexia Tutor and came across 3D Learner. She went to our 3D Learner website and saw the following questions:

Does your child remember places visited, even from years ago?

Does your child learn best when he or she sees and experiences information?

Is your child a lot smarter than present results would indicate?

These questions screen for a visual learner. What we have discovered is that somewhere between 80 and 90 percent of the students we see with dyslexia are a visual learner with dyslexia.

Mom then asked — what are the key differences between 3D Learner and a Boca Raton Dyslexia Tutor

7 Differences Between a Boca Raton Dyslexia Tutor and 3D Learner

1- Our experiences and the quality of our team. We have two child with dyslexia, and were frustrated by the challenges that persisted, even after several dyslexia programs. Mira Halpert, the developer of the 3D Learner Program (R), has her Masters in Education from the University of Michigan, has many years of education experience before 3D Learner, and has spent the last 20 years improving the process. She has also hired an excellent team. Our goal is to put your child on his or her Pathway from Stress to Outrageous Success.

2- We ask different questions. We asked mom:

Does your child lose focus when the work is boring or frustrating? and several more questions that appeared to confirm an attention issue

Does your child skip words and lines when reading? and several more questions that appeared to confirm an eye-teaming issue

Does your child get anxious when doing homework, reading aloud in class and taking tests? Again the answers appeared to confirm an anxiety challenge

Roughly half the visual learners with dyslexia have an attention and eye-teaming issue and almost all have one of these challenges.

3- Our assessment process focuses on how your child learns best, where your child is strong and where they struggle, what is your child’s present level of reading speed and comprehension, and whether your child has an attention, visual processing and/or anxiety challenge. We offer a no cost screening tool that assesses for attention, visual processing and anxiety challenges at Success Assessment

4- Our training focuses on improving reading fluency and comprehension, and improving attention, visual processing, ability to manage stress, building self-esteem and so much more. We do work on phonics and phonemic awareness.

5- We help parents to be the coach and advocate your child needs to improve the situation at home, to reduce homework time and stress, to develop a plan with the school and to address the other issues

6- Results — our students often make dramatic gains across a broad spectrum of issues — including reading comprehension, test scores, self-esteem and understanding how they learn best. Because we work on multiple skills, our students often see results in months not years

7- The parents who come to 3D Learner. Our parents like the atmosphere, the process and the results. They like that we help the whole child, that we help them to be the coach and advocate their child needs and that we work with the parents and the child’s school. Most of all, they like the results they see.

If you are looking for a Boca Raton Dyslexia tutor, we recommend you consider 3D Learner — for most students with dyslexia, our integrated and visual-hands-on approach provides an excellent option. 3D Learner has helped students from 40 states and 12 other countries -and we are in your backyard.

Visual Learners Benefit From Calm, Structure and Visual Schedules

Students with dyslexia are often visual learners — who respond well to calm parents, structured approaches and a visual schedule of what to do. Here is an article on preparing children for a Hurricane.

Their suggestions include:

• Try and keep routines as normal as possible. Kids gain security from the predictability of routine, including attending school.
• Limit exposure to television and the news.
• Be honest with kids and share with them as much information as they are developmentally able to handle.
• Listen to kids’ fears and concerns.
• Parents and adults need to first deal with and assess their own responses to crisis and stress.
• Rebuild and reaffirm attachments and relationships.

Visual Learners will Benefit from Fewer Words and Parents Being Calm

Some children respond well to words — that is rarely true about the visual learners.

Visual learners tend to:

Pick up on non-verbal cues — are their parents appearing calm, while others may not

Like a clear picture of what to do
